How To Report Your Home COVID Test

COVID-19 testing remains essential as the United States heads into the holiday season and people navigate respiratory viruses. While taking a rapid COVID-19 test has become commonplace, test results are only sometimes reported. 

If we share our test results, the people who work to keep us safe from this disease will know how fast the virus is spreading or where surges are happening. 

In addition, COVID-19 test results provide valuable data that public health departments can use to assess the needs and modify the responses in the local community, the state, or the nation. 

MakeMyTestCount.org allows users to anonymously report the results of any brand of at-home COVID-19 test.


Do I have to give my personal information to report test results?

Your privacy is a priority for MakeMyTestCount

We don’t ask for any specific personal information such as your name, date of birth, or street address. 

Instead, we ask for general information such as age and home ZIP code. 

If you like, you can also provide information such as race, ethnicity, sex, and whether or not you have any COVID-19 symptoms. 

That data helps public health workers better understand how COVID-19 is spreading in your community, but it’s not required.
